From the American Revolution to modern conflicts, "Sniper's Discretion" offers an unprecedented examination of America's complex relationship with military snipers. This meticulously researched work reveals how these elite marksmen have been simultaneously celebrated for their effectiveness yet often viewed with moral ambiguity by their own forces and society at large.

Author B. James Johncox draws on extensive primary sources, interviews, and battlefield accounts to trace the evolution of American military snipers - from colonial sharpshooters to today's highly trained specialists. The book explores how sniper programs were repeatedly developed during wartime only to be abandoned during peace, creating costly capability gaps in subsequent conflicts. Through compelling narratives of legendary marksmen like Carlos Hathcock and Chris Kyle, Johncox illuminates the psychological burden these warriors carry and their struggle for recognition.

More than just a military history, this groundbreaking work examines the cultural and ethical dimensions of precision warfare. It challenges readers to confront difficult questions about the nature of combat while highlighting the strategic importance of skilled marksmen in modern conflicts. With detailed technical insights into sniper weapons and training, firsthand accounts from the battlefield, and thoughtful analysis of sniper warfare's future, this book is essential reading for military historians, firearms enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the human elements of warfare.
